It takes you to the past
forgetting the present
It makes you relive the happy moments
or creates repeated sad moments
It makes you wish everything was different
or you could turn back the hands of time
It makes you wail uncontrollably
or go completely mute
It makes you see life anew
and enjoy every moment all through
It’s grief and it’s different for me and you.

[…] Grief […]
LOUD IT! Especially the last line, “It is different for me and you”
I hate grief,
I hate heartache,
I hate wishing you will call,
I hate what ifs,
I hate you have this effect on me,
I hope I don’t hate you
Lovely ❤️
I hate waiting
I hate longing
I hate hoping
I hate yearning
I hate that you don’t know me
Beautiful 😍
Thank you 😊
